BACKGROUND

In the gentle flow of space and time

Time flows by leaving its traces through layers of materials that settle and amalgamate, stratifications of dust and natural elements shaped by atmospheric agents and a continuous flow of sea water, which smoothes and compacts surfaces. Background finds its inspiration in a limestone of calcareous origin with an almost monochrome texture. Placed in these settings dominated by strong, uncontaminated nature, it retains the primary elements that characterise it but evolves them to produce a porcelain stoneware with a minimalist aesthetic and extremely matt finish that is pleasant to the touch, covering rooms with rare beauty.

Introducing the perfectly matt finish with a velvety touch

Real Matt technology lends porcelain stoneware a highly matt finish (much more so than the unworked finish), guaranteeing maximum softness to the touch and ease of cleaning. The result of talent, research, and constant passionate experimentation with ceramics, this technology removes absolutely all reflections from the tiles. Featuring layer upon layer of only the most select materials and very low levels of gloss, the body of these tiles renders the appearance of their natural counterparts and their multiple shading effects with an absolute realism.

3D Texture with intense material realism

Fondovalle is heralding a new era in the production of porcelain stoneware thanks to 3D Texture, a highly innovative digital technology that offers a deep material quality, producing
a three-dimensional effect on surfaces to accurately resemble
the wood that inspired them. 3D Texture technology permits perfect synchronisation between different applications and materials with extraordinarily realistic effects and depth of detail. The result
is the fruit of investment and painstaking research, enhancing
the three-dimensionality of the pressed mix; colours and textures synergistically harmonise and the surfaces acquire an authenticity perceptible to both touch and sight.
